I’m against marriage because I don’t think that either the state nor the church has any right whatsoever presiding over the union between two people. I don’t think the state nor the church should have any right whatsoever to make divorce stigmatized and a matter of having to fucking jump through hurdles not to mention forcing people to pay up for the privilege.

I’m against marriage because in some cultures, it’s forced upon women in the interests of material gain for the family.

I’m against it because girls too young to defend themselves, kids are betrothed or married without any say on their part. That’s disgusting.

I’m against it because children who are born outside of marriage are still considered illegitimate and lesser than the offspring of married couples.

I’m against it because the mere factor of a woman being unmarried but pregnant was used to marginalize her and dump her in a magdalene asylum with her either being forced to endure abortion or having to endure the heartbreak of giving her child up for adoption and the heartbreak those children grow up with often times not knowing the circumstances of their adoption or being raised by, say, their grandmother and tricked into thinking that their birth mother is their sister or aunt.
